Simone Biles of the United States caps the gold for her team with her floor routine during the women's team gymnastics final on Tuesday, August 9, 2016. The United States women won the event.
ExpandRIO DE JANEIRO — The U.S. women’s gymnastics team proved golden once more.
The Americans’ second straight Olympic triumph was never in doubt, their score of 184.897 at the Rio Games more than eight points clear of the field. Their night was capped by Simone Biles with a boundary-pushing floor exercise that showed just how far ahead they are of everyone else.
Biles, Lauren Hernandez, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman also gave retiring national team coordinator Martha Karolyi a fitting send off with powerful performances on all the apparatuses.
